The last time my family got all dolled up for a portrait, my Mom was pregnant with my youngest sister. Three days ago, Chele turned 17. Today we remedied that little problem and took some Poteet family portraits.

We'll start with a few fun ones.

This was after we had the shot, we we're trying for serious faces. I think it's hilarious, and I love the shadows behind us.

I tickled Sam and she decided to get even!And now for the Poteet family photo, coming soon to a mailbox near you...

I think we're going to have to make this an annual practice, especially since it turned out so well.

Andy and I were given tickets to this year's Poinsettia Bowl and just had to take advantage of them. We left work and made it to Qualcomm Stadium early to enjoy the tailgate party before heading inside for the game.

I give you the TCU band at the tailgate party, and the sea of blue and orange inside the stadium after kick-off.Qualcomm before it filled with people. Did I mention we went inside early?We were surprised by the disproportionate amount of Boise State fans to those from TCU, but everyone seated around us was pleasant and we enjoyed the game. I'd never been to a college football game, let alone one this big, and I loved all the chants and cheers that came from the crowd as naturally as if they were breathing. All and all it was something different, and it turned out to be a fun little evening together.
